حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ أَخْبَرَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ بِالطَّوِيلِ وَلَا بِالْقَصِيرِ، ضَخْمَ الرَّأْسِ وَاللِّحْيَةِ، شَثْنَ الْكَفَّيْنِ وَالْقَدَمَيْنِ، مُشْرَبٌ وَجْهُهُ حُمْرَةً، طَوِيلَ الْمَسْرُبَةِ، ضَخْمَ الْكَرَادِيسِ، إِذَا مَشَى تَكَفَّأَ تَكَفُّؤًا كَأَنَّمَا يَنْحَطُّ مِنْ صَبَبٍ، لَمْ أَرَ قَبْلَهُ وَلَا بَعْدَهُ مِثْلَهُ ﷺ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was neither tall nor short, with a large head and beard, large hands and feet, a reddish complexion, a long line of hair from chest to navel, and large joints. When he walked, he leaned forward as though descending a slope. I have never seen anyone like him before or after him ﷺ.

سئل الدارقطني عنه فذكر الاختلاف فيه قال والصواب قول من قال عن نافع بن جبير عن علي ولم يذكر فيه جبيرا والله أعلم فإن بعضهم ذكره عن نافع عن أبيه عن علي وبعضهم يقول عن نافع عن أبيه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم
machine translationAl-Dāraquṭnī was asked about him, and he mentioned the disagreement concerning it. He said: The correct view is that of those who said, "from Nāfiʿ b. Jubayr, from ʿAlī," without mentioning Jubayr in it, and God knows best. For some of them mentioned it from Nāfiʿ, from his father, from ʿAlī, and some of them say: from Nāfiʿ, from his father, from the Prophet ﷺ.
